"The second volume of Robert Crawford's definitive biography records the untold story
of T. S. Eliot's adult life, from his relationship with Emily Hale to his momentous
later works" ; After being kept from the public for more than fifty years, the letters
between T.S. Eliot and his long-time love and muse Emily Hale were unsealed in 2020.
Crawford uses them to tell the story of the mature Eliot during his years as a writer
and intellectual, including his complex interior life. He shows how Eliot's years
as a firewatcher in bombed wartime London helped inspire Eliot's later masterpieces.
Crawford presents Eliot as husband, lover, and widower; as banker, editor, playwright,
and publisher. Most of all, he shows Eliot as an epoch-shaping poet struggling to
make art amid personal disasters. -- adapted from jacket
